Feng Huang Wang·2025-10-16 11:05Core Viewpoint - The global annual death toll from traffic accidents is 1.25 million, highlighting the significant impact of road safety. The advancement of autonomous driving technology is seen as a potential solution to reduce accidents and enhance safety [1][1]. Group 1: Autonomous Driving Technology - The ultimate mission of autonomous driving should focus on two main aspects: the liberation of human attention and the reduction of accidents. Currently, reducing accidents should be prioritized to achieve the goal of freeing up human resources [1][1]. - The technology must demonstrate that machine driving can be safer than human driving, supported by concrete data to prove its safety [1][1]. Group 2: Safety Challenges - There are inherent safety challenges associated with machine driving, including the ability to handle "long-tail scenarios," limitations in perception and cognition, and the risks associated with the "black box" effect [1][1]. - The need for technological advancements to ensure that machine driving is demonstrably safer than human driving is emphasized, requiring substantial evidence and data [1][1].
